1.1 General Description
This camera, a digital scouting camera, is a
surveillance camera working automatically. It
can be triggered at once by any movement of
human (or animals) in a certain region of
interest (ROI) monitored by a high sensitive
Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor, and then
automatically captures high quality pictures or
records video clips (720P HD) according to
default settings or preset customer settings.
It takes color pictures or videos under
sufficient daylight. While at dark night, the
built-in infrared LEDs function as flash light, the
camera then takes clear pictures or videos
(monochrome).
It is resistant against water and snow for
outside uses. Furthermore, the camera can be
used as a portable digital camera. Pictures or
videos can be taken manually by pressing OK on
the control in TEST mode (The wired control
needs to be connected).
1.2 Application
This camera can be used as an automatic
surveillance device for guarding and recording

unexpected intrusion to homes, shops, schools,
depots, offices, taxies, worksites etc. It can also
be used as a trail camera for hunting or
monitoring animals by recording the traces of
wild animals. It can be left alone for months and
it will save event records automatically in digital
format.
1.3 Camera Overview
The camera has the following I/O interfaces:
USB connector, SD card slot and external DC
power connector.
On the head of camera, there is a lock hole
for theft-proof.
Take a few moments to familiarize with the
camera controls and displays. It is helpful to
bookmark this section and refer to it when read
through the rest of the manual.

1.5 Saving Images or Videos
The camera uses a standard SD (Secure
Digital) memory card to save images (in .jpg
format) and videos (in .avi format). SD and
SDHC (High Capacity) cards up to a maximum
32 GB capacity are supported. Before inserting
the SD card be sure that the SD card is unlocked.

2 Cautions
★ Please install batteries according to shown
polarity.
★ Must insert the SD card before power on
camera. The camera will not work properly
unless a working SD card is detected by the
camera
★ Please unlock the write-protect before
inserting the SD card.
★ Please insert the SD card when the power
switch is at OFF position before testing the
camera.
★ Please do not insert or take out the SD card
when the power switch is at ON position.
★ It is recommended to format the SD card by
the camera when used for the first time. Many
other SD cards formatted by other cameras
have poor compatibility with different brands
of cameras. So it is best to format the SD card
with this camera or on a computer.
★ In the TEST mode, the camera will shut
down automatically after 3 minutes if no
operation is done. Please turn on the power
again if you want to continue to work with the
control.

Appendix I: PIR Detection Zone
Fig.5 shows Bolymedia’s 4 kinds of
detection range at different detection angles.
This camera is long range with 50 degree.
Fig.5 PIR Detection Zone
The PIR detection angle (α) is just smaller
than the field of view (FOV) angle (β). The
advantage of this design is to reduce empty
picture rate and capture most, if not all,
motions.

Fig.6 Detection angle vs. FOV angle
This camera has a new design of PIR and this
new PIR is patented. The new patented PIR’s
detection range can reach to 73ft(in good
environments). The figure 7 shows the
compared detection zone between normal PIR
and the new patented PIR.
